SHANGHAI, Jun. 19 (SMM) – Aluminum might not be the preferred choice, at least for now, since its prices are still in downward track amid a series of negative factors, SMM noted.

Anticipation is waning for favorable policies in Chinese aluminum market. Growing supply and softening consumption will send SHFE 1708 aluminum down further to 13,300-13,650 yuan/tonne this week. LME aluminum will drop to $ 1,850-1,890/tonne, SMM predicts.
